Shangri-La Rhododendron Sea Raiders

In spring, azaleas are in full bloom, and Yunnan is Shangri-La. There are many places where you can see all the azaleas. Do you know where they are? So, today, let's see which places are the same!

Main attraction

Pudacuo National Park

Pudacuo, which means "God helps you reach the other side of the lake by boat" in Tibetan, is the first national park in Chinese mainland.

There are two mountains and lakes, Bitahai and Zhudu Lake, which are as beautiful as a mirror, with meadows full of water plants, wetlands full of flowers, and virgin forests infested with birds and animals.

At the turn of spring and summer every year, countless beautiful azaleas bloom on the mountains and grasslands of Pudacuo National Park in Shangri-La.

There are many kinds of azaleas here, such as white azaleas glittering and translucent as jade, pink azaleas tender as water, and enchanting and gorgeous purple azaleas. They grow on trees, clusters, clusters, and on the edge of rocks, which is very spectacular.

The gorgeous flowers hidden in the green trees are painted with a touch of bright color on the quiet mountains and lakes under the blue sky.

Walking in the Woods by the lake, azaleas are in full bloom, enjoying the lakes and mountains, bathing in the warm sunshine and spring breeze of the plateau, you will feel very comfortable.

There is also a magical legend about rhododendrons on the shore of Bihai Lake: "Rhododendrons drunk fish". Because the petals of rhododendron are slightly poisonous, when the wind blows, the petals of rhododendron fall into the lake and float on the lake like drunkenness after being eaten by naked carp, so this spectacle appears.

Lin Tao carries the sound of water, birds and flowers.

Baima Snow Mountain

Baima Snow Mountain Nature Reserve is located in Deqin County, Yunnan Province. The alpine rhododendron forest on the snowy mountain is rich in species, which is called "the cradle of northern temperate flora" by botanists. There are more than 90 kinds of famous alpine rhododendrons, such as Rhododendron densiflora, Rhododendron argenteum, Rhododendron Warwick and Rhododendron microphylla.

In 2005, the rhododendron forest in Baima Snow Mountain was rated as one of the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Forests in China" by chinese national geography.

When the azaleas are in full bloom, the mountains are decorated with colorful colors, which form a beautiful picture with the towering White Horse Snow Mountain.

Summer and autumn are the best seasons to visit Baima Snow Mountain, where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, monkeys are playing, streams are gurgling and cuckoos are competing for beauty, forming a charming "flower sea" spectacle.

Bigu Tianchi

The Tibetan name of Bigu Tianchi is "Zhang Chu", which means small lake. Because it is located in the idyllic spot of Bigu, it is named Bigu Tianchi. The clear lake seems to be the pure soul of colorful flowers and trees around.

Around Bigu Tianchi Lake, there are not only vast virgin forests, green pastures, quiet cattle and sheep, but also azaleas on the lake.

From late May to late June every year, Bigu Tianchi becomes a paradise for azaleas. Nearly 100 acres of cherry blossoms and azaleas can be seen everywhere, forming a spectacular sea of flowers. They are like beautiful garlands tied on Tianchi Lake, which is fascinating. White is elegant and pure, yellow is calm and beautiful, red is warm and gorgeous, and countless flowers are blooming and colorful.

The stunning picture of the flower sea in the movie "The Promise" was shot here. Flowers lying on the ground, cattle and sheep strolling in the sea of flowers; Under the blue sky, the pyramid-like snow-capped mountains stand in the clouds, and the quiet lake is full of petals, rippling with microwaves, and people's hearts are rippling with it.

Qianhushan

Qianhu Mountain Scenic Area is located in the south of Shangri-La. Tibetan is called "Ramdongcuo", which means "Goddess of Thousand Lakes" or "Thousand Lakes Guanyin". Surrounded by snow, mountains and lakes are dotted with different shapes. There are more than 60 large lakes 10 mu, and countless small lakes.

Legend has it that a fairy dressed up in Qianhu Mountain accidentally dropped a mirror, and the broken lenses scattered in the mountains turned into many lakes, hence the name. Also known as the last secret of Shangri-La.

From late May to early July every year, azaleas in Qianhu Mountain are in full bloom. At that time, the lake was full of azaleas, wandering in the sea of flowers, watching silently, slowing down and letting my heart settle down. Because there is no development, it is particularly peaceful. Not far from the secular, but close to heaven.

Yangtangqu

Yangtangqu, which means "the riverside where flowers gather" in Tibetan, is located in Xiaozhongdian Town, Shangri-La City, Diqing Prefecture. Tangyang River is like a hadad river, drifting from north to south, with charming scenery everywhere along the river.

The snow-capped mountains on both sides of Yangqu River face each other, with gorgeous grasslands and flocks of cattle and sheep. In late May, Rhododendron, Primula, Stellera chamaejasme and Gesanghua bloomed one after another, and the whole river was like a dream paradise, which made people fascinated.

Balague Sect

Balague Sect, known as "Shangri-La Small Jiangnan", is located in the northwest of Shangri-La, which is an isolated and clean place.

There are magnificent Shangri-La Grand Canyon landscape, magnificent scenery of balague Zongxue Mountain, sacred hometown of Bala Village, sacred Millennium Phoenix Bodhi Tree, Shambala Pagoda, virgin forest, plateau lakes, plateau pastures, glaciers, canyons and so on. Beauty, beauty, pearls left by God.

From the end of May to June, balague became the hometown of azaleas. Azaleas are like attending a dance. Because I was afraid of being late and didn't have a ticket, I rushed to leave. From begonia to Shambhala Pagoda, fragrance is accompanied. The azaleas on the mountain, red and yellow, in clusters and patches, are overwhelming and deeply capture the hearts of photographers all over the country. They didn't go far to Wan Li just to see their beauty.

The azaleas in Nai Ranch are afraid of missing the spring banquet, but they are not to be outdone, scrambling to open freely.

Xiaozhongdian

Xiaozhongdian is located in the alpine dam area, with a large area of lush grassland. Every year from late May to mid-June, it becomes a sea of flowers, and the hillside is full of colorful azaleas and Gesang flowers. This is also a good place to take photos and wedding photos.
